Yeah, great. I design MMOs, and have made my living in MMOs for 15 years. I like BBT.

Yeah I'm a physics nerd as a hobby and I'm really an engineer and I don't have any real issues with the show which is directly about physicists and engineers.

SithLord:i wouldn't call it jumping the shark. That's the inevitable outcome of the pair. Or she finds out she's pregnant out of wedlock and it ain't Leonard's. But isn't that what this show is about? Enamored nerdy physicist falls for the hot blonde next door?

I'd call it a narrative challenge that could easily lead to a shark jump, but one that you can't avoid indefinitely.

sure haven't:It's not the same type of show as Seinfeld. It kinda has to progress a little.

I don't get why this all of a sudden means jumping the shark?? Howard got married, went to space, Sheldon has a girlfriend. SHELDON has a GIRLFRIEND.

I think it's about damn time they stop with the "will they break up or won't they", and just leave them together as a couple.

Sheldon and Penny are the best comedic team in years, not kidding. They always seem to make me guffaw no matter what.

The rest of the cast is mostly useless. Sheldon is one of the great sitcom characters of the 21st century and Penny is the straight man, so when the show is around the two of them it is one of the better episodes.

For some perspective, look what homosexuals have had to endure in mass media. To this day most male homosexual characters are basically mincing nancies that give fashion tips and have the irresistible compulsion to dance whenever here is a beat.

I remember someone on fark calling The Big Bang Theory and The IT Crowd "blackface for geeks." Apparently being a geek means you lack a sense of perspective.

It worked for Moonlighting.

Contrary to popular belief, the demise of Moonlighting was not caused by the resolution of the romantic tension, but by the deterioration of writing on the show over-all, not to mention Bruce Willis' desire to jump to the big screen. Yes, them getting together happened at around the same time, but post hoc ergo propter hoc is still bad logic.

True that Baybrook Mall is in Clear Lake, a Houston suburb, but it's only about 20 miles from Galveston and the closest thing to a real mall for Galveston since the Galvez Mall closed years ago and Mall of the Mainland all but closed too. I grew up on the island and Sheldon's references are usually off. Considering Parsons is from Houston, you'd think he'd work with the writers to get it right. Anyway, more pictures of Kaley please...

I know, and that's what I said to people when we talked about it the next day... (I live in Clear Lake, and, ha, work part time at Baybrook (Lego for the win!)) And I said the same thing, Parsons is from here, you think he would have said something...It was funny him mentioning it tho... the management at Baybrook went NUTS

/to get all technical... Baybrook was in the county, with a Friendswood zipcode... Houston annexed it along with the neighborhood behind it, but allowed the Friendswood zip to stay... the four corners of Bay Area Blvd and 1-45 belong to 4 different municipitalities...

That's the point of jumping the shark. When the inevitable outcome couple finally couples the show runs out of gas. May not be the case in BBT since the focus is just as often on Sheldon and his man-child antics so the Leonard-Penny romance is a side story not the main event but it definitely has Shark Jump possibility. That's OK though, the show has had a good long run and I'd rather see them move forward so that they are fully together when the show does end rather than some "slap them together at the last minute to wrap it up". Too many shows ruin their premise by stretching it out beyond reason or sense. You cant have sexual tension forever without giving in to it. So put them together and see if the show still has something to say.

BizarreMan:Last weeks episode with the girls getting into the argument over comic books was priceless. Especially when they walked into the comic book shop and all the guys in there went completely stupid.

It was good to see Captain Sweatpants.

Aaaand now we know the Fark handle of the actor that plays Captain Sweatpants

You may want to change the batteries in your remote so that you can take advantage of watching other channels.

Seems to be on several channels in syndication after shows that I actually like and sometimes fall asleep to, so I can't help but wake up to a laughtrack (or seemingly retarded audience) after a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad joke. Changing my batteries won't change the fact that I have a tendency to fall asleep on the couch.
